What do you drink in the morning if you don’t have tea or coffee?

[Radicaloptimism]

I want to cut down on caffeine and I am thinking of giving up my morning cup of tea. I’m not keen on coffee anyway and only have one occasionally so I won’t miss that. I am wondering what I can have instead?

Water, coconut water, fresh orange juice or milk.

Occasionally a herbal fruit tea. Be warned, if you decide to try green tea as an alternative, don't do it on an empty stomach. It can make some people feel really nauseous.

I find that caffeine seems to trigger hot flushes now I’m mid 40s, so I sometimes have de caff tea but usually just have water. Boring but I do feel better for it.

Milk.

I was going to suggest the same! I only drink Rooibos tea now as I wanted something both caffeine and tannin free. I drink it with milk and find real tea so bitter and undrinkable now - it's a great substitute and far cheaper than herbal teas.

Green tea has caffeine in though.

I don't like hot drinks. So basically I live off water, sugar free squash and milk.

A pint of squash
mug of hot squash (ribena/ginger cordial)
juice or smoothie

:)

I have peppermint, or caffeine free green tea

Yes, sorry, should have said the caffeine-free version. Tastes exactly the same.

Just water.

Water.
